You made the right choice. Steve has been violating the rules and customs of
this forum for years, hawking his very questionable services. He's either
delusional or exceptionally obstinate.

ROFLMAO!!!! Isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?
I have been reading the newsgroups for over ten years now, and I have NEVER
seen JV pimp his services. You, on the other hand, do it all the time.

Hmm... he does this, yet Microsoft just keeps giving him the award every year?
If that's the case, how do I get in on this gig?

Thanks for the entertainment, Steve. Have you considered lobbying Microsoft
for lofty position of Chief Newsgroup Clown?

 

[Fred]

About 80% of what Steve does here is hitting people up for money (violating
the rules and concept) or insulting the main contributors here who are beyond
reproach.

The other 20% is that he sometimes give good answers without hitting people
up for money.

His overall net here is a big minus.

John said nothing untrue. You have been informed countless times (well,
technically the number of times could be counted, I suppose) that attempting
to sell your "services" in this forum is inappropriate, yet you persist, so
"exceptionally obstinate" fits without question. Your attempts to sell your
"services" apparently arises in part from the belief that you alone can help,
so "delusional" could very well apply.

Your claim that John routinely violates the spirit and rules of the newsgroup
is utterly without merit. About the only time he is not gracious and helpful
is in his dealings with you.

"Ahmed, John Vinson routinely violates these rules. He routinely violates

The rules of conduct stevie is referring to is the standard requested by
Microsoft of the MVPs. https://www.mvpaward.com/policies.aspx

Since we are independant of Microsoft, there is no obligation for the MVPs
to follow these rules.In John Vinson's case, I can not see how he has done
anything that violates these rules and I consider him to be a good example
of what an MVP should strife for.

So you see, Ahmed, MVPs do not have to follow the rules.

It's okay for an MVP to use attacks, slurs, and profanity in their
interactions. All MVPs should strive to do that.

Thanks, John... but I try to avoid strife in this group. Steve gets under my
skin at times though!

I meant strive, but strife is an interesting typo. ;-)

Okay... my mistake...

Public Apology to All Clowns:

I did not mean to slander your good name by using your name in the same
sentence with Steve's... I hope you won't sue.

No excuse at all, Steve. Why do you do it?

[KARL DEWEY]

Are you applying the 'Politically Correct' thing that says any truth that
someone may dislike or not want to hear is therefore personal attacks, slurs,
or profanity?

Sometimes the truth hurts.
